This will hopefully be a quick question. Can images in the symbol factory be mirrored?

Thanks

Yes, they can be mirrored. If you go to Shape, you can mirror an object both vertically and horizontally. The mirror feature can also be found on the toolbar, represented by two triangles side by side, with one being white and the other grey.

Hi,

I am trying to implement horizontal mirroring on perspective as you can see on the picture attached. I want A to become B, so after selecting the entire view with all components the mirroring button on the toolbar seems to be disabled. Any ideas?
